Railway electrification
West Yorkshire Combined Authority
Kirklees Local Plan
The Government announced in June 2015 that it will delay or cut
back a number of modernisation projects planned for Network
Rail. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said that rising
costs and missed targets make the £38.5bn plan untenable.
Network Rail said the plan, which was launched last year as the
“largest modernisation of the railways since Victorian times”,
was too ambitious. However, on 30 September 2015 it was
announced that the project would restart and that Manchester York/Selby would be completed by 2022. The original completion
date was December 2018.
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is the driving force for
economic growth across the Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees,
Leeds and Wakefield districts and the City of York Council area.
WYCA brings together key decision-making powers into a single
body, putting West Yorkshire and the wider Leeds City Region,
including the City of York, in a much stronger position to tackle
its shared economic challenges - including improving transport
- by boosting jobs and growth.
The Kirklees Local Plan (previously known as the Local
Development Framework) is the new development plan being
produced for Kirklees. This involves working out how many new
homes and jobs are needed in the future for the district and
allocating land to meet these needs.
Kirklees 4 Business
A business support funding website for the Kirklees area is
available at www.open4funding/kirklees/
Registration is required.
Investment fund - Boosting economic growth through a £1/2bn
economic investment fund, aligned with government investment,
is the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s primary focus. To
maximise their impact and potential, decisions affecting areas
of policy such as land use, economic development and wider
regeneration will be made in alignment with those made on
transport. Projects will have differential spatial impacts across
the Combined Authority area but will aid the development and
delivery of individual member councils’ key growth projects and
future local plans.
West Yorkshire plus Transport Fund - In July 2014, the
Government announced that the West Yorkshire Combined
Authority had, uniquely, secured funding to establish a £1bn
West Yorkshire plus Transport Fund. The Fund will comprise
£600m of Government funding government over 20 years,
£183m of other devolved transport funding previously secured
through the City Deal and local contributions. It will underpin
growth by improving the City Region’s roads and railways and
connecting people to jobs and goods to markets seamlessly.
11
The Local Plan will also set out the areas of Kirklees that need
protection, including valuable open spaces, areas with high
environmental quality and historic value. It will set out the
infrastructure needed to make sure that any new developments
are sustainable. The National Planning Policy Framework
(NPPF) explains what sustainable development means in
relation to planning.
The Local Plan will contain a map of the district showing where
land has been identified for different uses such as housing,
employment and open space. Planning policies will also be set
out to make sure that development which comes forward will
be sustainable. When the Local Plan is agreed and in place,
planning applications will be judged against what it says. The
Local Plan is timetabled to be adopted late 2017. Details of
the Local Plan can be found at: http://www.kirklees.gov.uk/

Employer Survey 2013: Summary of main findings
Age structure of the unemployed June 2015
Nearly one third (29%) of businesses reported their turnover to have
grown in the last 12 months, with 27% having experienced a decline (a
positive balance compared to the negative balance in 2011 (-2%).
15% of businesses had seen employee numbers increase over the past
12 months, while 14% had seen employee numbers decrease – a slight
positive balance compared to the negative balance in 2011 (-2%). One in five employers that have recruited in the last 12 months, or
currently have vacancies (21%), considers that any of the vacancies
they have reported to have been hard-to-fill.
50% of businesses rated their local area as a ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ place
in which to do business (52% 2011), though businesses in Dewsbury
were less likely to do so (35%).
Access to transport links was the most commonly cited main benefit
of the location of the business (51% of all employers surveyed), closely
followed by personal/historic reasons, quality/size of premises, overall
attractiveness of the area, and quality of local environment.

Kirklees Factsheets 2015
The Kirklees district is served by one Primary
Care Trust. From April 2013 responsibility for the
commissioning of local health services passed to
Greater Huddersfield Clinical Commissioning Group
and North Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group. At
the same time responsibility for public health passed
to Kirklees Council. The district is also served by two
acute NHS hospital trusts: Calderdale & Huddersfield

Joint Strategic Needs Assessment
From April 2013 all Health and Wellbeing Boards took
over the statutory duty to work with the Council, CCGs
and other partners to develop a Joint Strategic Needs
Assessment (JSNA) for their district.
The JSNA provides an opportunity to look to the future
– over the next 5, 10, 15 and even 20 years - so that we
can start planning now for likely changes in needs. It
focuses on the issues affecting the health and wellbeing
of children, young people and adults in the district and
how these might change over time, rather than what
the Council or CCGs are currently doing to address
these needs. The JSNA draws together a wide range
of information from a variety of sources, both local and
national which analysed and assessed to identify the key
issues for the Kirklees population. The JSNA forms the
basis for planning service development and is seen as a
key building block of the commissioning process.
Copies of the current 2013 JSNA summary and full
document are available from:
http://www.you-kmc/partners/other/jsna.aspx
The JSNA is not a single, one-off exercise, but is
an ongoing piece of work which will add to our
commissioning “intelligence”.

Attendance Allowance February 2015
Attendance Allowance, introduced in December 1971, is a benefit for people aged 65 and
over who need help with personal care because of illness or disability. For example, a
person may qualify for Attendance Allowance if they have difficulty with washing, dressing or similar tasks. The benefit is not income related, is not taxable and is not based on
National Insurance Contributions. In general, the benefit has two payment levels. Those
requiring help both during the day and night are eligible for a higher rate of £82.30
per week, otherwise recipients are provided with the lower level of benefit (£55.10 per
week). In Kirklees there were 9,150 people claiming the allowance (12.8% of all aged 65
and over, Great Britain 14.4%).

Pension Credit February 2014
Pension Credit is an entitlement which guarantees everyone aged 60 and over a minimum income. Pension Credit has two parts: the guarantee credit and the savings
credit (only paid to people aged 65 and over). The savings credit provides extra money
to people who have income from occupational pensions or savings, giving the recipient
a higher income than the guarantee credit. In Kirklees there were 17,875 claimants of
Pension Credit of which 3,200 were in couples which accounts for 18.8% of all aged 60
and over (Great Britain 18.0%).
Health declines with age and only 26.1% of people aged 85 and over said that their
health was good. 83.5% of people aged 85 and over feel that they have a limiting
long-term illness.

Disability Living Allowance February 2015
Number of Blue Badges on issue at March 2015
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a tax-free benefit for adults and children with a
disability or illness who need help with getting around or help with personal care or help
with both of these. Normally help must have been needed for at least 3 months and must
be likely to be needed for at least a further 6 months. People cannot claim Disability
Living Allowance on or after their 65th birthday, even if the need for help started before
then, however if they are claimants on their 65th birthday, they can continue to receive
the benefit. (People aged 65 or over who need help with personal care may be able to get
Attendance Allowance.). In Kirklees, 5.3% of all people (around 1 in 20) claim DLA; this
increases to 11.3% for ages 60 to 69 (1 in 7).
Blue badges enable people with mobility difficulties to park in places where parking is
otherwise restricted.

Allowance, the higher rate of the mobility component of the Disability
Living Allowance, Government issued cars or grants towards own cars,
